Arthouse Direct

Friendly staff helped us find what we were looking for. Reasonable prices. Lovely store.

Not very welcoming. It seems customers are a burden rather than a welcome sight. Have given this shop a few tries but have decided I'll never 'darken' its doors again (yep that's how they made me feel). Good luck surviving if you only like to be friendly to your regular customers with deep pockets. I still feel angry and I've waited 6 weeks to write this review - if I'd written it on the day I'd be banned from Google!

I was like a kid in a lolly shop here! If you're creative, experienced, or a beginner, you'll find plenty to keep you busy here!

I cannot fault the staff. They are very helpful, and they stock a good range of products, but unfortunately their prices are absolutely outrageous. I only purchase art supplies I urgently need from them.*Edited from here onwards as I was asked by the owner to remove my comparison prices with another store. I understand that they are trying to run a business, but suffice it to say that if I can purchase 3 products elsewhere for the same amount that I paid for 2 idential products at Arthouse Direct, then perhaps Arthouse Direct needs to review what they are charging their customers.

I CANNOT go to Bendigo without being enticed into the land where art supplies surround you. Love it

I was looking for watercolour paper for myself and a friend. The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable, thank you for your help today ladies!

Great range of art supplies, everything from painting and drawing to model making. If you are looking for high quality products and a diverse range, this is a great place to shop.

The lady in the shop might like art supplies, but she certainly doesn't like people! My mum and I went in today, all inspired from the Art Gallery and could have easily spent hundreds of dollars had the service been even remotely pleasant. But instead, she was rude, cold, unhelpful and belittling. We felt anxious the entire time and rushed our purchases just so we could leave her in peace (sorry to have come into your shop and bought supplies from you - how inconsiderate of us!) Also, thanks for telling us about the 20% off sale, towards the end of our visit.Obviously won't be back and going by the other reviews - she's clearly in the wrong industry.Other than her - the shop was fantastic! Lol.

I am a newbie wannabe artist" who knows little and needed advice. I also have mobility issues. I was not made to feel very welcome and when I asked about origami paper
